Download or read book Resistance and Empowerment in Black Women s Hair Styling written by Elizabeth Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Johnson's Resistance and Empowerment in Black Women's Hair Styling develops the argument that one way Black women define themselves and each other, is by the way they style/groom their hair via endorsement by the media through advertisement, idealized identification of Black female celebrities, and encouragement by professional celebrity hair stylists who serve as change agents. As a result, hair becomes a physical manifestation of their self-identity, revealing a private and personal mindset. Her research answers the following questions: What is the relationship between Black females' choice of hairstyles/grooming and transmitted messages of aesthetics by the dominant culture through culturally specific magazines?; What role do the natural hair blogs/vlogs play as a change agent in encouraging or discouraging consumers grooming their hair in its natural state?; What impact does a globalized consumer market of Black hair care products have on Hispanic/Latinas and Bi-Racial women?; Are Black female Generation Y members more likely to receive backlash for failure to conform their hair to dominant standards in their hair adornment in the workplace? Johnson thus demonstrates that the major concern from messages sent to Black women about their hair is its impact on Black identity. Thus, the goal of Black women should be to break with hegemonic modes of seeing, thinking, and being for full liberation. This critical and deep consciousness will debunk the messages told to Black women that their kinky, frizzy, thick hair is undesirable, bad, unmanageable, and shackling.

Download or read book Women in Magazines written by Rachel Ritchie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have been important contributors to and readers of magazines since the development of the periodical press in the nineteenth century. By the mid-twentieth century, millions of women read the weeklies and monthlies that focused on supposedly "feminine concerns" of the home, family and appearance. In the decades that followed, feminist scholars criticized such publications as at best conservative and at worst regressive in their treatment of gender norms and ideals. However, this perspective obscures the heterogeneity of the magazine industry itself and women’s experiences of it, both as readers and as journalists. This collection explores such diversity, highlighting the differing and at times contradictory images and understandings of women in a range of magazines and women’s contributions to magazines in a number of contexts from late nineteenth century publications to twenty-first century titles in Britain, North America, continental Europe and Australia.

Download or read book African American Culture and Society After Rodney King written by Josephine Metcalf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1992 was a pivotal moment in African American history, with the Rodney King riots providing palpable evidence of racialized police brutality, media stereotyping of African Americans, and institutional discrimination. Following the twentieth anniversary of the Los Angeles uprising, this time period allows reflection on the shifting state of race in America, considering these stark realities as well as the election of the country's first black president, a growing African American middle class, and the black authors and artists significantly contributing to America's cultural output. Divided into six sections, (The African American Criminal in Culture and Media; Slave Voices and Bodies in Poetry and Plays; Representing African American Gender and Sexuality in Pop-Culture and Society; Black Cultural Production in Music and Dance; Obama and the Politics of Race; and Ongoing Realities and the Meaning of 'Blackness') this book is an engaging collection of chapters, varied in critical content and theoretical standpoints, linked by their intellectual stimulation and fascination with African American life, and questioning how and to what extent American culture and society is 'past' race. The chapters are united by an intertwined sense of progression and regression which addresses the diverse dynamics of continuity and change that have defined shifts in the African American experience over the past twenty years.

Download or read book A Beginner s Guide to Natural Hair Care written by Nuria Mari and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first thing you need to know about hair care, is, the hair care product manufacturer is not your friend. Yes, that is why it's not a problem for them to include ingredients like sulphates and parabens in their formulations. Even though they know that Sulphates will probably leave you looking twice your age in a few years, and parabens can make it difficult for you to get pregnant, or increase your risks of developing breast cancer, they still use these ingredients anyway. A company's gotta make some cheddar you know. Hair care manufacturing companies are not non-profit organizations. Their major goal for setting up shop is to get that mulla. But the, your hair is said to be your crowning glory, and it's normal to want to improve your hair if it's not to your satisfaction. You see, in order to grow and maintain your natural hair, you must have a perfect understanding of what natural hair is. There are many definitions of the term "natural hair," but I'll let you in on the most common definition, and the one we'll talk about most often in this book. "Natural hair is a relaxer-free hair. It differs greatly from chemical-free hair. on the surface, chemicals are often considered as toxic and dangerous, but this is usually not the case most of the time. Most of the chemicals that you use on your hair are harmless and perfectly safe." The perfect model for black natural hair is the African American natural hair. It is sometimes tagged as "nappy hair" that needs to be corrected with a relaxer. We've heard stories of women facing some form of discrimination in their workplace and in religious settings due to their hairstyles. It is said that some employers consider these hairstyles unprofessional, while religious leaders consider it as a sign of immorality. Many have been denied promotions or jobs because of their natural hair. And the big one - it has caused issues in many relationships. A Beginner's Guide to Natural Hair Care is about teaching you what you need to know about your natural hair and providing you with the right information and resources to help you grow that beautiful hair you've always wanted. I've done a very intensive research on this subject because I want to give you the opportunity to learn how best to care for your natural hair. Of course, one of the best ways to learn is by reading and analyzing the experiences of others. What's more? You get encouraged when you see the photos of women with their beautiful and well-groomed natural hair, while they testify and speak positively about their hair care journey. These testimonies are evidence that you also can be successful if you can invest the energy and the time into learning the right techniques of natural hair care. Is there a reason you're struggling on your hair care journey? Some of the tips given online are faulty. That's it! You see, many product manufacturers or hair advisors will stress that you have to search for and find the perfect products (usually tagged holy grail products). Some may say that you have to understand a specific technique, like the baggy method or protective styling, before you can record some degree of success in your natural hair journey. If you've tried these techniques without success, then you probably know that the tips you're following are nothing more than generic recycled advice. That's the primary reason why I wrote A Beginner's Guide to Natural Hair Care. The tips in this book are based on a well-crafted blueprint for having a successful natural hair journey. If you need long-term results, then this book is for you. It will help you build a solid foundation that will guarantee you success for life on your natural hair journey. Cheers to your beautiful, black, natural hair.
